The date datum is the new plutonium.In its natural state it has leaks, it pollutes and it harms.Contained and used safely it can light up a city.Robert Kirkpatrick, A Global Pulse

This is not a course for convincing yourself of whether we need to or can renounce technologies forever to be happy. As pointed out by Marta Peirano, a journalist specialising in security and privacy, the problem is not mobiles or the Internet.All technologies we are totally used to are the tools of the contemporary life.The problem (or opportunity) is what is done with the information we generate (and give away) when we browse through the Internet, use a free application or, simply, travel with a mobile telephone in our pocket.

Almost without noticing, we are facilitating hundreds of data about where we go, what we like, our contact networks, what we think, what we do and so on.and, like you, a further 5 billion people in the world...Doesn’t all this information seem very appetising to you? Then to multitude of persons and institutions with diverse interests...and not always aimed at the common good.That is whey it is important TO LOOK AFTER DATA, TO LOOK AFTER LIFE.

The EYE ON DATUM course offers you a journey and reflection on how and why the digital transformation has so much to do with you...and with everyone else on the planet.And with the human rights.And with "leaving no one behind".

Literal, we are eating the planet, and the slogan "there is not planet B" is not no fashion to decorate T-shirts "molonas".

In these moments there are 7,700 million persons consuming resources: consuming the planet.It is true that we, not all the persons, do not consume the same amounts even in the same way; it is different to be a consumer/to that consumeristic being.Have you proposed how you consume?Which is your imapcte?

When opening the Lecture of the UN about Climatic Change Secretary-General advised the world leaders who if they do not act will be traïnt to the humanity and to the future generations.Because of that, he asked, especially the main emitters of gases with greenhouse effect, for them, that they act with "the ambition that asks for the people" to avoid a disaster that puts in danger the health and the security of everybody in the planet.

If we think of the recycling it is clear to us; however, do you dare to looking critically at your consumption of clothes, technology and your plans on journeys? Do you decide to thinking which is your ambition?What would you ask the world leaders for?And, most important of all, what you can do there?

Are they the problems of the world as severe as they suggest?We are in the face of a global crisis (social and ecological) or it is not necessary to exaggerate?
And to you, this as it affects you?Something has to do with you or it is not either therefore?And especially, is there anything that you can make?
If you have become any of these questions, or all of them, your course is this.We offer you a speeded itinerary for the most important challenges in those that we confront as a humanity (as the poverty, the inequality or the climate crisis).The matter is complex, so our idea is to try to understand the causes and especially the relations among them.And, of course, exploring together paths towards its solution.

A course for understanding how we organise ourselves to look after ourselves in society.

This course is a new proposal from the #GlobalChallenge inter-university project, an education, participation and action programme for the social change, promoted by ONGAWA, an NGO whose mission is to put technology in the service of human development to build a fairer and more solidarity society.

We will be reflecting on smart societies and the common good, public services and management models.And to round off, we will think about how we, as young people, can influence institutions and create something there.

Programme:

1. Smart societies and the common good.Institutions that look after people.
2. Public services: the key to eliminating inequality in societies and the world.
3. Management models.Collective solidarity.Because some things would have to be global public assets.
4. What does all this have to do with me? As individuals (and the youngest too!)we can influence institutions...without dying in the attempt
